Custom Jobs




Custom Jobs are the means through which the Heroes of Light can regain their true powers. They use a loophole in the Job system to connect to the Heroes of Light's Crystal and draw their real powers from there on. Characters won't be able to use all of their powers at once however, as they have to acclimate to having them once again. The acclimation period works similarly to the way Exp work for normal Jobs.

Custom Jobs must have a minimum of three skills and a may have a maximum of eight. Like regular Jobs, the skills must be ordered so that the weakest ones are regained earlier, whereas the most powerful one is regained after a year (or less depending on how you handle Exp). Custom Jobs allow characters to regain some of their powers, maybe even all of them if they don't have a lot of powers to begin with. However, game breaking skills or god-like skills is forbidden.

Characters will have to go to Palitutu's Laboratory to request a Custom Job, and will be asked to cooperate with the Moogles to create it. Please, use the regular Job List as reference when making a Custom Jobs.


How do Skills work?
You can have one skill per skill line; however in some case you may have multiple elements per line so long as it makes sense. For example, the elemental skills from the Black Mages are all together on the same line, but to compensate for it the three levels of elemental skills take up three skill lines.

How do Custom Jobs work in correlation with regular Jobs?
Custom Jobs do take Job slots. If only one Custom Job is equipped, a regular Job can also be equipped. With a Custom Job equipped, Limit Breaks are only half as likely to happen. With two Custom Jobs equipped, Limit Breaks are disabled altogether. However, the effects of the Limit Break may be used as a skill on an Advanced Custom Job, even if less efficient than a real Limit Break. Custom Jobs cannot be used alongside Onion Knight however.

How do I write my Custom Job?
In the summary, you should write what the Custom Job is about. If your character was an android or a different species that changed upon awakening in Crystallis, it is possible for them to go back at being an android with a Custom Job. This is not a skill, just an effect of the Job you should write in the summary blurb. The same holds true if they have a special weapon such as a Keyblade, etc. You then must write Strengths and Weaknesses sections: they must be well balanced, otherwise the Custom Jobs may have to be revised.

But my character has a lot more than eight skills!
If your character has more than eight skills, they will have to equip a second Custom Job to regain more skills. If they have very powerful skills that do not fit in a Custom Job, they will have to work on an Advanced Custom Job. Note that researches for these are not complete yet. If your character has too powerful skills, either give them only three skills to compensate for the strength of said skills, or wait for Advanced Custom Jobs to become available.

Can another Hero of Light use my character's Custom Job?
Custom Jobs cannot be shared at the moment. They can only become shareable if the character to whom the Custom Job belongs dies for real.

When can I use my Custom Job?
Upon being submitted, Custom Jobs must be approved by the moderators before being used. We may ask for revisions. We also ask you post the Custom Job in your character journal, so that anyone can see it. Furthermore, we ask that anyone asking a Custom Job to have been in the game for at least a month and to provide the Activity Check for the past month.

Character: Lita Kino
Activity Check: September AC

Lita Kino / Sailor Jupiter
The fourth of the Sailor Scouts to be discovered, Sailor Jupiter is the agent of love, courage, and protection. Blessed with the elemental powers of lightning, as well as her trademark brute strength, Sailor Jupiter is a mighty force to be reckoned with. Transforming into Sailor Jupiter adds an odd layer of anonymity that cannot be explained, and has only been summarized as 'You look different.'

Strengths: Sailor Jupiter's best stats are strength and magic. Though unable to equip any particular weapons, her fists are more than capable of bringing the hurt, as is her ability to lift and throw objects an ordinary person wouldn't. As long as Jupiter Power is activated, Sailor Jupiter's stats get a boost across the board. Her lightning elemental attacks can often be combined with the elemental attack of another Hero of Light to deal even greater damage than before.

Weaknesses: Her lightning attacks don't do much good against enemies with the earth elemental attribute. And as powerful as she is, her defense stats are fairly average, and she isn't able to equip additional armor without greatly sacrificing her agility -- in short, she can do a lot of damage, but she can't sustain as much as someone who can wear at least light armor. But Sailor Jupiter's greatest weakness is that, unless she's able to transform with Jupiter Power or Jupiter Crystal Power, she doesn't have access to any of her other skills or stat bonuses at all.

Initial Jupiter Power Transform into the mighty warrior Sailor Jupiter! The transformation takes place almost instantaneously, and makes the wielder unrecognizable even to their family and closest friends.
Initial Jupiter's Blessing Greatly enhances strength, agility, and magic as long as Jupiter Power remains invoked.
One Month Supreme Thunder Lightning elemental attack (weak).
Three Months Supreme Thunder Dragon Lightning elemental attack (weak). Takes on the shape of a dragon and deliberately pursues a single foe. Never misses.
Four Months Sparkling Wide Pressure Lightning elemental attack (medium).
Six Months Jupiter Crystal Power Replaces Jupiter Power. Sharply increases magical power and defense.
Nine Months Superior Supreme Thunder Lightning elemental attack (strong). Attacks all enemies within a limited area (approximately 20 feet cone spread).
One Year Jupiter Oak Evolution Sailor Jupiter's strongest attack. Deals nonelemental damage to all enemies within range.
